I do!

My first experience with metal tips was with a couple X9's (4ml PT clone), after a couple uses I just couldn't use them anymore. I can't stand the COLD METAL going into my mouth, gives me chills just thinking about it. I can't imagine what it would be like If I used it during the winter...

Anyways, I bought a couple cheap plastic 4ml bcc to replace them but they both ended up[ breaking at their bases after only a couple months. They were cheap and I knew it, no biggy. So I couldn't find any 4ml plastic tipped bcc that accepted evod/t3s heads so I started thinking of ways to use those two x9s that have been sitting in the corner for the past 6 months. *Lightbulb*. Use a drip tip cover! On second thought I don't think those will give me the conformity I desire. That is when I went out to the garage and found these.

They are found in most autop parts stores.

Snip the covered end off and slip it over the drip tip. The red and white ones seemed to work the best for me, all depends on the dt though. They conform very well with the curves and fit snugly on all the ones I tested.

Some might not like the look, but it saves me money and makes use of some unused gear. :)

I personally favor metal drip tips simply because they're so durable and easy to clean. That and they look the best on my devices IMHO. I do have a few delrin drip tips, along with a mixture of delrin/metal drip tips, but that's pretty much all I use. I go for the wider bore tips though, so the market in plastic/ceramic ones isn't that big in comparison.
